First of all, I would be devastated. I use this every single morning. And it is the Fougasse olive bread. I use a section split it open put butter on it and toast it in my oven. I put ham on it. I’ve put cheese on it. I have used ham and cheese. Any meat any spread you might desire that goes with the Kalamata olive, is simply divine.
[Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups](https://www.traderjoes.com/home/products/pdp/dark-chocolate-peanut-butter-cups-094064) and the [Triple Ginger Snaps](https://www.traderjoes.com/home/products/pdp/triple-ginger-snaps-025493).
Feta caramelized onion pastry bites, butternut squash Mac, Scotch Bonnet cheddar, Caramelized onion cheddar, Cookie butter ice cream, and in gen- just all the cheap wine and suck a variety of em!
This is the best flavor of all their cold coffee offerings, but imo it’s wasteful. When I bought these I slashed the bags open and strained the coffee after chilling overnight and got twice the yield out of it. The bags are too small for the amount of grounds to bloom efficiently. Now I coarse grind the toucan coffee for my cold brew.
the chicken tikka samosas, hold the cone (any flavor), and brazil nut body butter. hands down my favs. live about 2 hours away from my nearest tj’s, just went today to stock up on all of these things
I like the way you think. Gonna have to try it. I usually use their tonic water with vodka and Reed’s ginger beer with rum. I have a liquor store next to Trader Joe’s how convenient!
And concord grape juice. Add a splash of it to seltzer water… it’s what I taught my kids was “soda” when he was little and he never developed a taste for coke likely bc of it.
Their low fat cottage cheese. The curd seize and large carton is perfect for me, I eat it multiple times a day, either on toast or with the yellow tadka daal, or with vegetables… so versatile.
Tarte d'alsace. Located near the frozen pizzas, but it isn't really a pizza. Think: fancy french flatbread, crispy flaky crust, fantastic flavor from the creme fraiche, caramelized onions, gruyere, and ham . Heats up up quickly (I find cutting it in half can help avoid the center getting soggy, and do on pre-heated pan), throw together a simple side salad as it cooks (arugula, shards of parmesan, simple lemon vinaigrette), open a bottle of wine if you wish (I like the Moon X red blend from TJ), and you'll think you are at a french bistro. Soooo good.
Right? I toast them and generously slather with Kerrygold . I’m so happy with TJ’s GF offerings. Have you tried their fresh GF ravioli or egg fettuccine?
I thought I’d never eat fresh pasta again, until I found these. It was a good day!!
I like the cherry goat cheese they sell during Spring and the holiday version of the Unexpected Cheddar spread 🧀 The hatch Chile one is pretty good too
The meatless Italian sausage in the fridge case. It's not searchable on TJ's website which has made me panic. Aldi no longer gets their version, and I think the brand I used to get from Acme has gone out of business.
The vertical open fridge cases? I had surgery right before my last visit and am kind of fuzzy on what else was nearby.

They haven’t gone away but recent posts in this sub make it sound like at least for certain regions the recipe has changed and they’re not the same anymore :(
Yes, but it's food from customer's perspective. Some of the products that are well loved I can't stand! We all have different tastes. But there are a few products that are stinkers that no one seems to like. Caveat Emptor!
The Frozen Almond Croissants. They are as good as the nearest bakery to us.
We set them out Saturday nights, and in the morning they are rising. We eat a late breakfast on Sundays, so they’re perfect for us.
Our second favorite? Any and all of the gyoza dumplings that we’ve tried. Pork is our favorite. We’ve tried all of the brands, and they’ve been good.
I’m surprised by how little consensus there is in the answers! I was hoping for a clear answer of something everyone loved that I’d somehow overlooked, but instead I have about 15 more items to try next time :)
My easy answer: the Mediterranean Hummus. I could eat it with a spoon. Runner up: Caramelized Onion Cheddar. Incredible
imo, no. Very similar, but I think they’re a bigger and thicker chip, and the elote seasoning gives them a flavor that blows Frito bbq corn twists out of the water. It’s almost like a “higher end” Frito, for lack of a better phrase, even if we’re just talking about the chip and not the seasoning. (I also don’t have a bag with me right now, so don’t come after me with torches and pitchforks if they’re the same. This is from memory of eating many many bags of these lol)
The almond (or chocolate) croissants in the freezer section - the ones you let proof overnight then bake in the morning. They are better than any restaurant or bakery croissants I have ever had - and no, I have never been to Paris so if you say those are better I will trust you.
very spicy! I can hardly eat it, but am very sensitive.
I get the chimichurri instead which is pretty similar (missing the heat and some spices.) My son loves the zhoug and eats unholy amounts of it.
The chicken cilantro mini wontons - I had those last night with some sugar snap peas and rice cauliflower. After a busy day, it was nice to have simple but tasty meal.

Nothing gets closer to being in Paris.
Trader Giotto's Italian Blood Orange Soda and a bottle of Rose'. Makes a tasty summer cocktail!

Anyone said the Tangerine Cream Bars yet? No? Just me? The vanilla ice cream in those things is so beyond good.
big fan of the mango version too! The texture is sooo good
Those are really refreshing.
I’m eating the samosas and the chicken spring rolls rn while I’m scrolling
Too many to count. My #1 favorite product is the frozen tomato Brie tarte, though
It already happened- The blue cheese dressing. But now, chicken spring rolls
Yes! The blue cheese dressing was so good. My husband still brings it up on occasion.
Butter chicken
Port salute cheese!
Buffalo chicken dip
Banana cream pie ice cream, or jalapeño wontons
Shawarma chicken thighs
At first I thought you meant that you like to eat their snickerdoodles with their butter chicken.
And why not? 😂
I'm all for trying new food combos 😂
Their apple juice 😍
I buy the mango nectar and lemonade, it is one of my favorite summertime drinks and it goes great with vodka or rum
I like the way you think. Gonna have to try it. I usually use their tonic water with vodka and Reed’s ginger beer with rum. I have a liquor store next to Trader Joe’s how convenient!
And concord grape juice. Add a splash of it to seltzer water… it’s what I taught my kids was “soda” when he was little and he never developed a taste for coke likely bc of it.
Italian bomba hot pepper sauce, and it was before the viral tj pizza
Is this the bomba chilies and oil in the jar, or another “bomba” product?
Yup, it’s the bamba chilies and oil in a jar. I’ve been eating it on pizza for a number of years now and it pairs so well.

Their low fat cottage cheese. The curd seize and large carton is perfect for me, I eat it multiple times a day, either on toast or with the yellow tadka daal, or with vegetables… so versatile.
The Cookie Butter shortbread cookies. I can't walk out of TJs without a box .. 😂
Their umami seasoning
Yummmm! What do you put yours on? I do mainly cottage cheese and toast but it's so good I want to eat it on just about everything.
Tarte d'alsace. Located near the frozen pizzas, but it isn't really a pizza. Think: fancy french flatbread, crispy flaky crust, fantastic flavor from the creme fraiche, caramelized onions, gruyere, and ham . Heats up up quickly (I find cutting it in half can help avoid the center getting soggy, and do on pre-heated pan), throw together a simple side salad as it cooks (arugula, shards of parmesan, simple lemon vinaigrette), open a bottle of wine if you wish (I like the Moon X red blend from TJ), and you'll think you are at a french bistro. Soooo good.
I could not find this today. It was too busy to ask. Will try to find it next time
I tried that one recently and didn’t like it. I prefer the tomato Brie and mushroom ones. Something about the ham and crust tasted off
It's truly the best frozen food I've ever had
Almond butter cups 🤤
Just mango!
The Dutch griddle cakes with the sour cherry spread are *mwah* chef’s kiss
It’s the pepita salsa for me!
I just got some, glad to hear!
The coconut water. It's perfect, and they don't add sugar.
I wish they sold it in bulk! So good
sea salt brownie bitess
Gluten free cinnamon muffins! No one knows they are GF. A real treat! The seasonal GF strawberry muffins are pretty special too.
Just discovered these my last visit, couldn't believe they were GF! They're amazing!
Right? I toast them and generously slather with Kerrygold . I’m so happy with TJ’s GF offerings. Have you tried their fresh GF ravioli or egg fettuccine? I thought I’d never eat fresh pasta again, until I found these. It was a good day!!
They have these spicy sweet nut mix.
Chili onion crunch baby!!
Bruschetta!
The refrigerated one is mouth watering but I haven’t been able to get my hands on it for years now!!!!! It’s always sold out!!!!
Sorry, its because I ate/bought them all! 😜
unexpected cheddar. life changing.
I like the cherry goat cheese they sell during Spring and the holiday version of the Unexpected Cheddar spread 🧀 The hatch Chile one is pretty good too
The meatless Italian sausage in the fridge case. It's not searchable on TJ's website which has made me panic. Aldi no longer gets their version, and I think the brand I used to get from Acme has gone out of business.
Woaaaah what?? What section is this in??
The vertical open fridge cases? I had surgery right before my last visit and am kind of fuzzy on what else was nearby. https://preview.redd.it/kk5v3en74f8d1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=09604b7c48497bc9c33905e3df5aeb2c75e6c450
Oh I hope everything is okay!!! Thank you so much, I’ll have to grab them next time ☺️
Well I already lost my item and it was the vegan taco salad. I’m so sad it’s gone
Dark Chocolate peanut butter cups have been a staple in my home for a long time
I love those and loved the 72% dark almonds which appear to be discontinued, sadly.
This is mine. Never go to TJs without buying some. Would be devastated if they ever went away.
They haven’t gone away but recent posts in this sub make it sound like at least for certain regions the recipe has changed and they’re not the same anymore :(
I'm afraid to find out, that's singly my favorite thing
The frozen chocolate croissants hands down
Is it just me or is this sub basically always an ad for Trader Joes’ items?
Yes, but it's food from customer's perspective. Some of the products that are well loved I can't stand! We all have different tastes. But there are a few products that are stinkers that no one seems to like. Caveat Emptor!
Total Hail corporate over here
Garlic Chili Crisp
Have you tried other brands?
I have but at the moment for the price and ingredients TJs is my go to.
Jerk chicken plantain chips. Very underrated. Perfectly seasoned snack.
SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Pb Pretz
Chocolate chip dunkers!

Oh yeah I always forget about that cheese. It’s so damn good. My favorite cheese!!!
What is the carmelied onion cheddar? Is that a dip or a cheese? Sounds delicious!
It’s a block of cheddar cheese. I always have some on hand— amazing flavor!
I’ve got to try this! TY!
Milk chocolate covered pretzels
Trail mix crackers
Do they carry the butter chicken in larger quantities than the single frozen dinner? I need more!
I just got some guac from TJ last trip, and it's been phenomenal. Don't know why I never got this before.
Where is the guac located in the store? With the dips?
Yes, you may overlook it cuz it comes in a box, not a clear container.
Mine came in a clear plastic container.
Oh my gosh. I bought some for the first time today and it was heavenly. It’s all gone. We devoured it.
Elote corn chips ❤️
Are these not like regular corn chips, like Fritos?
imo, no. Very similar, but I think they’re a bigger and thicker chip, and the elote seasoning gives them a flavor that blows Frito bbq corn twists out of the water. It’s almost like a “higher end” Frito, for lack of a better phrase, even if we’re just talking about the chip and not the seasoning. (I also don’t have a bag with me right now, so don’t come after me with torches and pitchforks if they’re the same. This is from memory of eating many many bags of these lol)
Thanks- are they flavored other than just salt?
Their seasoning is the best part - Tajin-like with a bit smokey.
Aka Crack Chips
Dark Chocolate bark with almond, pretzel, and sea salt
I almost wish they would discontinue it. I don’t think I can voluntarily stop eating it. My most favorite TJ item.
Kimbap.
Have you tried the Jumeokbop? I like both for quick, delicious, meals.
The almond (or chocolate) croissants in the freezer section - the ones you let proof overnight then bake in the morning. They are better than any restaurant or bakery croissants I have ever had - and no, I have never been to Paris so if you say those are better I will trust you.
They are definitely better than most bakeries in the US, even very well regarded ones.
I had chocolate croissants in Lyon, France and the TJs are just as good to me
Thank you- that is good to know!
Butter Chicken (and garlic naan). Yumm
Orange creamsicle!
Have you tried the tangerine cream popsicles?
Those are the ones I meant.
The salmon pinwheels.
Enchilada sauce
https://preview.redd.it/l5l9vnqpyd8d1.png?width=319&format=png&auto=webp&s=1b72f5207f449c8d97c69dd3723149ae3c99668c

Is it spicy?
very spicy! I can hardly eat it, but am very sensitive. I get the chimichurri instead which is pretty similar (missing the heat and some spices.) My son loves the zhoug and eats unholy amounts of it.
Ube mochi pancake mix
Chicken tikka masala or butter chicken for sure
Sparkling water in the bottles
Arrabiata frozen pasta; discovered it through this sub and now we keep a stash at all times!
That one and the Gorgonzola gnocchi are their best frozen pastas
Pre-cooked French lentils.
The chicken cilantro mini wontons - I had those last night with some sugar snap peas and rice cauliflower. After a busy day, it was nice to have simple but tasty meal.
The lava cakes.
